Mr. Fredrick Lists Transfer Courses
Since several students have expressed periodic interest in knowing specifically which courses at the Division of General and Technical Studies may be transferable toward baccalaureate degrees offered at the Indiana University-Fort Wayne Campus, Wade Fredrick, Director of Student Procedures and Services at DGTS, lists them below for informative purposes. There are two important factors which any transfer candidate should bear in mind. These are as follows: 1. The number of transferable hours from one program to another may vary considerably, depending upon which major a student selects. 2. Credits are transferable only if a student fulfills the requirements for admission established by the recipient institution (in this case, Indiana University-Fort Wayne Regional Campus). DGTS Courses Transferable to IU, Ft. Wayne Regional Campus TBUS A101 TBUS A102 TECO E101 TECO E102 TECO E201 TBUS F101 TBUS J101 TBUS K201 TBUS L101 TBUS M101 TBUS M201 TBUS M202 TBUS P101 TBUS W100 TBUS W101 TPSY P101 TSOC S101 TCOM C101 TBUS C101 TBUS C102 TBUS C201 TBUS C110 TBUS C111 TBUS C210 TBUS C301 TBUS C225 TBUS C302 Further information or clarification may be obtained by contacting the admission office at DGTS or Mr. Phil Kennell, Director of Admissions, Indiana University Regional Campus at Fort Wayne.

Commencement Program To Honor 9 Graduates For Scholarship
Mary Wert, data processing major from Kendallville, will graduate with high distinction at Indiana University's commencement on June 1. A 3.8 grade point average in all subjects is needed for this honor. In addition, eight (tentative) other students will be honored by graduating with distinction. Achieving a scholastic achievement of 3.6 or higher are Francee Clason, Ligonier, accounting graduate; Rogert Butcher, Decatur, accounting; Penny Deermer, Fort Wayne, X-ray technology; and Dorsey Fields, Auburn, marketing. Others include Ed Harris, Fort Wayne, X-ray technology; Martha Keuneke, South Whitley, data processing; Myra Mannix, Converse, X-ray technology; and Terry Reincke, Fort Wayne, data processing. The final grade point average will be figured after the spring semester grades are known. According to Mr. Fredrick, these names are subject to change. Also there are some other students with the mathematical possibility of reaching the required grade standard if their spring semester grades are high.
STUDENT ASSEMBLY NEWS Annual Awards Picnic To Feature Atlantis
Student Assembly's final planned event will be the Awards Picnic. The free event will take place at Sears Pavilion in Foster Park on Saturday, May 15, from noon to 5 p.m. Since the picnic is the final social gathering of the school year, special emphasis has been placed on entertainment. Our special attraction will be "Atlantis." They will provide the music, and refreshments will be served prior to their performance. Various awards will be distributed starting at noon, and the group will perform from 2-5 p.m. Scholarships awarded are Alumni Scholarships, Tri-Kappa Scholarships, and Interior Design Scholarships. Departmental Awards that will be presented include the following: James I. Toy Award, Office Technology Award, Operations Management Award, Speech Award, and Founder Day Award. Service Awards to be presented are the Student Achievement Awards. The only sports awards handed out will be the golf trophies.

Community Groups Honor Students with Scholarships
Each year several students at DGTS are honored by being named the recipients of scholarships presented by various organizations in the community. Congratulations are in order to several persons who have already been chosen for awards next year. Terry German, a Dean's List student from Prairie Heights majoring in accounting technology; and Pam Zollinger, a South Sider also on the Dean's List and pursuing her degree in data processing technology, have been named the recipients of two scholarships given by the Indiana University Alumni Club of Allen County. Terry and Pam were presented their scholarships on the evening of April 20 at the Alumni Club's dinner meeting at the Hotel Sheraton. Mary Ellen Jackson, a graduate of North Side majoring in office technology, has been awarded a scholarship by the Three Rivers Chapter of the American Business Women's Association and will be present to receive it on May 4 at the Association's monthly dinner meeting. Mary Ellen plans to become an executive secretary. All of us at the Division feel proud of our students' achievements and share their sense of satisfaction as recipients of these awards. To each of them, as well as others to be announced between now and fall semester, we offer hearty congratulations.

Litterers Busy In Student Lounge
Many of us here at DGTS are guilty of littering in the lounge. Perhaps we are unaware of it at first, but, after a week of consistent "missed" shooting of confetti at the wastebaskets, the trash accumulates rapidly and leaves our student lounge looking very bad. Up until the time of the annual Open House, the lounge appeared unfit for anyone to observe. However, the lounge appearance has improved considerbly in recent weeks. This is greatly appreciated, especially by the faculty and the school custodians. If the urge to shoot basketball in the lounge ever strikes you, feel free to take a shot at a basket. However, if the shot is missed, shoot again; for your field goal percentage may improve after the extra attempts! Also, please use the ashtrays for cigarettes! Cord Lewton, Editor

Interviewer Finds Student Assembly Officers Seek Student Involvement by Mary Ann Bissonette
Since Student Assembly elections, many of us are still unfamiliar with the new officers. I, for one, felt completely satisfied with the way things stood. Then I was given the assignment to learn more about Dave Wiehe, Ed McCutchen, Terry German, and Denny Boester. It was a profitable experience because I had to get involved, something which many of us are afraid to do. There are people who aren't afraid, though, mainly because they care. The new officers not only care, but it seems their goal is to persuade everyone else to care too. This is a big task for a small force, and they invite everyone to help. Dave Wiehe, president, entered DGTS after leaving the Army. He came here because he didn't want the extras included in a four-year course of study. Dave would like to obtain a four-year degree, however, and eventually break into the business world as a free lance manufacturers' representative. Recently, Dave was elected vice-president of the state DECA club. He should be congratulated and commended on his achievement. Dave cites his goal for Student Assembly as an all out effort to make DGTS more well known among Fort Wayne’s citizens and employers. To have Student Assembly become more student oriented and have many more people involved is another goal Dave has set. Since our school has so many part time students, it's hard to get a lot of the people involved; yet still Dave regrets that more people aren't concerned about Student Assembly. Dave told me, "The planning and distribution of where and how student money is spent originates in Student Assembly." More people should be concerned where their money is going. Terry German, secretary, came to DGTS because he "didn't want to feel like a number." He feels that students at DGTS receive more attention because of its smaller size. Like many of us, Terry is after a two-year degree. After graduation Terry feels he will probably have to get his service duty out of the way and then return to a possible accounting job in an agricultural business. "Student Assembly should represent the student body attitude and feelings. After all, the student body elected you,” was Terry’s answer to a pointed question, "What should Student Assembly be?" He feels it is the go-between between Administration and the students. Its purpose is to represent the students; therefore, all major ideas and suggestions come from this source. "I can't decide whether it was the wild women or the beautiful building," was Ed McCutcheon's retort to why he enrolled at DGTS. After some prodding and a beef sandwich, Ed, the vice-president, told me the real reason. The marketing course offered is the best all around. To get a doctorate in economics and become a millionaire are Ed's plans for the future. Also for the future he stressed a desire to get more students interested in Student Assembly and its work. Ed would like to find the key to channeling the students' enthusiasm toward Student Assembly. When Denny Boester, treasurer, was discharged from the Army, he realized the need for school. Denny observed businesses were hiring more from business schools, so he sought DGTS. He feels the courses are directly centered on the major fields, and everything is practical, not just theory.

Faculty Ekes Out One-Point Effort Over League Champs By Alvin Hairston
The DGTS faculty basketball team pulled an upset over Hairston's Point Scorers that was as unexpected as Frazier's win over Ali. After the first semester when the league was reorganized, there were four teams including faculty. The team captains' names were drawn to see who would oppose who in a round robin tourney. The faculty got a big break when they "drew" a bye. They humiliated their first opponent thus setting the stage for the biggest game in DGTS' history. The days before the game were filled with rumors that "The faculty will be punished" and ''The 2 in Mr. Zimmerman's 20 point per game average will be erased." There was even a rumor that 6'5” super star, Waymon Brown, better known as "Cookie Man" would report to the scorers' table before the game and have his forty points recorded. He planned to have the scorekeeper subtract two points each time he scored. Action following the tip-off of the big game featured the faculty "Big Three," Mr. (Hook) Frederick [Fredrick], Mr. (Broadway Joe) Chandler, and Mr. (Shot) Zimmerman. The game, which was played at a fast pace, was dominated for some reason by the faculty. They continued to build a wide point spread, eighteen at one stage, until a full court press pulled the Point Scorers within two. A foul shot put the faculty up again by three before a desperation shot by Ralph Johnson pulled the Scorers within one. The final score was 76 to 75 in favor of the faculty. High scoring honors for the winners went to Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Miller with 14 apiece. Waymon Brown and Candace Moore were high for the losers with 23 and 16 respectively. Denny Bradtmiller's team was victorious over Tom Rondot for third place honors. High scorers for the winners were Peoples with 20 and Evans with 18. Study and Coil led the losers with 22 and 16.

Red Shirt League Ends Successful Ball Season
This year's Red Shirt Basketball League, rivaled only by the Big Ten, was quite successful. Only one player attempted a shot at the wrong basket all season. With the cooperation of the Student Assembly and the team participants, enough funds were raised to pay expenses. The State School gym was the site of all the regular season ballgames, since their team was the sixth member of the league. Each Tuesday night game was filled with fouls and fun. The players competed in a manner indicative of teams vying for NCAA playoff berths. The highlight of each night was always the game between the State School faculty and their "victims." In fact, the action got so tough that Mr. Chandler, an outstanding player and adviser, called for a temporary cease-fire until the league could be reorganized--without State School. By virtue of the best overall record including two one-point wins over State School, the Point Scorers were declared DGTS champs. The team members included captain (Hap) Hairston, Candace (Can) Moore, Bob (Bibbey) Shaw, Cord (Smokin) Lewton, Waymon (Cookie Man) Brown, Jerald (Mr. Clutch) Shively, and Ralph (Gun) Johnson. Each team captain and player would like to thank Mr. Frederick [Fredrick], Mr. Chandler, and Dr. Bickley for their coordinated efforts in making the league possible. They are looking forward to an even greater program next year!

Student Assembly Officers Seek Student Involvement Continued from Page 2
Denny feels Student Assembly is a needed organization, as you see it in every walk of life. It informs the administration of how and what the students are thinking. Members are always open to suggestion from any student. Through the effort of the members who, according to Denny, "should try to help classmates, should participate in class, and should be friendly to all students. This way students can get to know Student Assembly." This is something all the officers would like to see happen.
Bicyclist Sought For Little LeMans
Each year, Saint Francis College invites area colleges to compete in their annual Little LeMans bicycle race in the month of May. For the men, a race is run around the campus grounds. The race is 25 miles in length or 50 laps of the course. Each team consists of five riders. The present race record is slightly over one hour in time and is held by a team from Ball State University. A race is also run for girls. Again, five members are necessary for a team. Tricylces [tricycles] are used as the racer, and the girls race on a 100 yard straight-away, making two passes of the track and then exchanging riders. Some students would like to see DGTS enter the race. However, more interested students are needed before bikes can be furnished. After the race, Saint Francis has a dance with queen candidates to be chosen. Girls from all colleges entered in the race are encouraged to run for queen of The Little LeMans. If anyone is interested, please contact Cord Lewton or Mike Mommer for further details. Cord Lewton - Editor
DECA Attends Texas Meeting
The DGTS marketing chapter of DECA has attended, with several delegates, the National DECA Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas. The Conference, April 16-22, is the highlight of the club's annual calendar of activities. The club's last "Reno Night" was such a resounding success that the club has elected to provide one more evening's "games" before graduation. The exact date will be announced later. All students, faculty, and friends are invited.
Fraternity Plans Reorganization
Tentative plans have been made to reorganize Beta Sigma Pi Fraternity. The following temporary officers have been elected: Dave Allen, president; Steve Frauhiger, vice-president; and Bill Zimmer, secretary-treasurer. The group hopes to have a house for the fraternity in the fall. A rush week and other projects are also planned for the fall semester.

Grades, Reading Skills Improved By Study Center
Mr. Donald Coleman, study center director, helps students daily in the study center.
Some sixty students finished a special study skills course the first semester and according to Study Center Director, Mr. Donald Coleman, "should realize not only increased efficiency in study and reading but should note decided improvements in semester grades. While grade-point averages have not been released yet for a careful evaluation, test results show remarkalbe [remarkable] improvement in reading ability." The Study Center moved from Room 201 during the Christmas break and is now located in Room 304. Classes meet at regularly scheduled times during the week and follow a prescribed course of study. STRUCTURE OF COURSE: The course has three areas which are considered fundamental. In order of importance, first, is the guidance portion. All students have problems which are peculiar only to them. Time is spent in a counselor-student setting where the student and instructor can discuss these problems. This is considered the most important aspect of the course since it is that part which "humanizes" individual attention and guidance to which he is entitled. Secondly, the course is pointed toward introducing students to study skills necessary for success in education. While the measurable time spent in class on these skills is relatively little, the time spent practicing is considerable; and the techniques bring maximum advantages to students. These study skills give the student a definite plan of attack, and offer him those skills necessary for increased concentration and understanding of the material. Thirdly, the students are introduced to a comprehensive developmental reading program geared toward exercising the study techniques as well as reading. This portion of the course requires most of the class time due to the students' reading, but the emphasis remains on study techniques applied to reading. The comprehensive course uses the latest training instruments - tachistoscopes, projectors, films, and reading pacers. All material used in the program has been tested and is controlled to assure proper work levels. Training films have been carefully selected and graded to assure maximum group interest and individual improvement. All of the material in the program is keyed to the interest levels of the students and is graded as to difficulty. In this way the student is always working on material which is at the correct grade level for him. TESTING: The program makes use of the Iowa Silent Reading Tests, Advanced, Forms Cm and Dm. Form Cm is used at the start of the course to appraise a student's beginning reading ability. Form Dm is used at the end of the course to evaluate the improvement in reading which occured during the course. The test is designed to cover a wide range of the skills known to be indispensable to effective reading of the work-study type. The test measures three broad areas of silent reading abilities; anmely [namely], (1) rate of reading at a controlled level of comprehension, (2) comprehension of words, poetry, sentences, paragraphs, and longer articles, and (3) ability to use skills required in locating information. Each of these fields is covered in a number of different ways by means of eleven different types of materials arranged in nine subtests, requiring a total testing time of 45 minutes and resulting in nine different subtest scores, each with a special significance. In addition to the regular classes open to college students, the Study Center also offers programs for high school students and for adults returning to education. Students interested in becoming involved in a program of improved efficiency should see Mr. Coleman.
Library Committee Seeks To Improve DGTS Library
Library Committee members inspecting some of the present library books include Mr. Stroup (alternate), Mr. Remko, Mr. Coleman, Martha Kueneke, and Mrs. Stauffer, (chairman).
The Library Committee meets several times a year to discuss ways to improve the DGTS Library. This year encouraging faculty members to make more use of the library with their classes has been its primary objective. Approving large purchase requests and seeing that budget money is divided equitably by departments are other library committee duties. Serving on the committee are two students, Francee Clason and Martha Keuneke. Faculty members include Mrs. Joyce Stauffer, chairman; John Remko, Don Coleman; William Loomis; Mrs. Thelma Mitchell; and Don Stroup.
DGTS To Serve As Exam Center For CPS Test
The Division of General and Technical Studies will serve as an examination center for the 1971 annual Certified Professional Secretary examination to be administered Friday, and Saturday, May 7 and 8 according to Mrs. Elizabeth Boswell, director of the office technology program at DGTS. Indiana University will be one of 124 centers for the two-day, six-part examination, which approximately 2,300 secretaries will take throughout the United States Canada, and Puerto Rico. To date, 5,053 persons have earned the right to use the CPS designation by passing the six parts of the examination: environmental relationships, business and public policy, economics of management, financial analysis and the mathematics of business, communications and decision making, and office procedures. The examination is open to all secretaries who meet specific education requirements in combination with specified years of verified secretarial experience. Applications for the 1971 examination are now being accepted by the Institute for Certifying Secretaries, 616 East 63 St., Kansas City, Mo., 64110.

On April 3, 1971, there was an Easter Egg Hunt for the children of St. Vincent's Villa. Several activities and games were played. Wednesday, April 21, 1971, there was another bake sale held at school for the students. In May an invitational tea is planned for the members of the the FSA clubs of North Side and Snider high schools. There will be a small discussion and talk on the courses and advantages of DGTS. There will also be some refreshments served. At the end of the semester there will be a picnic for the members of the club at a lake cottage where several activities and games are planned.
Sorority News Zeta Tau Omega Winds Up Busy Year of Activities
Zeta Tau Omega Sorority sponsored some very successful events during the past school year. Included in the highlights of the sorority's activities was a Coke Party which was held September 30, 1970, with the purpose of acquainting the new girls with the organizations of DGTS. The Sadie Hawkins Dance entitled "Dogpatch Daze" was presented on November 21, 1970, at Bojrab Club House while during Christmas, the sorority visited a group of children at St. Vincent's Childrens Home. The Back 40 Restaurant in Decatur was the scene of the Pledge Banquet when pledges became activated on February 13, 1971. The sorority also presented a very successful dance in the student lounge with live music on March 27. Many eat-ins were also sponsored by the sorority for the benefit of the students and the faculty throughout the year. A luncheon was held at the school April 27 for the new pledges. The last of the annual events was the spring formal dance entitled "Somewhere, Somehow, Someway, Someday" held April 24 at Lighted Acres.

Members of Zeta Tau Omega Sorority extend sincere thanks to advisors, Mrs. Paddock and Mrs. Hockemeyer, for their guidance and their valuable time. Their assistance has truly helped the organization be successful.
Non-Academic Affairs Handled By Committee
The purpose of this committee is to participate in the development of policies relating to the non-academic affairs of students. In addition to its legislative vote, this committee will evaluate the fact of cases where school policy infractions are involved and will make recommendations to the administration for final action. Faculty members on this committee are Mr. Zimmerman, chairman; Mr. Harley; Mrs. Hockemeyer; Mrs. Paddock; and Mr. Shearer. Students serving on the committee are Bert Honchell, Bev Moellering, Patricia Fortman, and Tom Reinking.

Litterers Busy In Student Lounge
Many of us here at DGTS are guilty of littering in the lounge. Perhaps we are unaware of it at first, but, after a week of consistent "missed" shooting of confetti at the wastebaskets, the trash accumulates rapidly and leaves our student lounge looking very bad. Up until the time of the annual Open House, the lounge appeared unfit for anyone to observe. However, the lounge appearance has improved considerbly in recent weeks. This is greatly appreciated, especially by the faculty and the school custodians. If the urge to shoot basketball in the lounge ever strikes you, feel free to take a shot at a basket. However, if the shot is missed, shoot again; for your field goal percentage may improve after the extra attempts! Also, please use the ashtrays for cigarettes! Cord Lewton, Editor

Interviewer Finds Student Assembly Officers Seek Student Involvement by Mary Ann Bissonette
Since Student Assembly elections, many of us are still unfamiliar with the new officers. I, for one, felt completely satisfied with the way things stood. Then I was given the assignment to learn more about Dave Wiehe, Ed McCutchen, Terry German, and Denny Boester. It was a profitable experience because I had to get involved, something which many of us are afraid to do. There are people who aren't afraid, though, mainly because they care. The new officers not only care, but it seems their goal is to persuade everyone else to care too. This is a big task for a small force, and they invite everyone to help. Dave Wiehe, president, entered DGTS after leaving the Army. He came here because he didn't want the extras included in a four-year course of study. Dave would like to obtain a four-year degree, however, and eventually break into the business world as a free lance manufacturers' representative. Recently, Dave was elected vice-president of the state DECA club. He should be congratulated and commended on his achievement. Dave cites his goal for Student Assembly as an all out effort to make DGTS more well known among Fort Wayne’s citizens and employers. To have Student Assembly become more student oriented and have many more people involved is another goal Dave has set. Since our school has so many part time students, it's hard to get a lot of the people involved; yet still Dave regrets that more people aren't concerned about Student Assembly. Dave told me, "The planning and distribution of where and how student money is spent originates in Student Assembly." More people should be concerned where their money is going. Terry German, secretary, came to DGTS because he "didn't want to feel like a number." He feels that students at DGTS receive more attention because of its smaller size. Like many of us, Terry is after a two-year degree. After graduation Terry feels he will probably have to get his service duty out of the way and then return to a possible accounting job in an agricultural business. "Student Assembly should represent the student body attitude and feelings. After all, the student body elected you,” was Terry’s answer to a pointed question, "What should Student Assembly be?" He feels it is the go-between between Administration and the students. Its purpose is to represent the students; therefore, all major ideas and suggestions come from this source. "I can't decide whether it was the wild women or the beautiful building," was Ed McCutcheon's retort to why he enrolled at DGTS. After some prodding and a beef sandwich, Ed, the vice-president, told me the real reason. The marketing course offered is the best all around. To get a doctorate in economics and become a millionaire are Ed's plans for the future. Also for the future he stressed a desire to get more students interested in Student Assembly and its work. Ed would like to find the key to channeling the students' enthusiasm toward Student Assembly. When Denny Boester, treasurer, was discharged from the Army, he realized the need for school. Denny observed businesses were hiring more from business schools, so he sought DGTS. He feels the courses are directly centered on the major fields, and everything is practical, not just theory.

Faculty Ekes Out One-Point Effort Over League Champs By Alvin Hairston
The DGTS faculty basketball team pulled an upset over Hairston's Point Scorers that was as unexpected as Frazier's win over Ali. After the first semester when the league was reorganized, there were four teams including faculty. The team captains' names were drawn to see who would oppose who in a round robin tourney. The faculty got a big break when they "drew" a bye. They humiliated their first opponent thus setting the stage for the biggest game in DGTS' history. The days before the game were filled with rumors that "The faculty will be punished" and ''The 2 in Mr. Zimmerman's 20 point per game average will be erased." There was even a rumor that 6'5” super star, Waymon Brown, better known as "Cookie Man" would report to the scorers' table before the game and have his forty points recorded. He planned to have the scorekeeper subtract two points each time he scored. Action following the tip-off of the big game featured the faculty "Big Three," Mr. (Hook) Frederick [Fredrick], Mr. (Broadway Joe) Chandler, and Mr. (Shot) Zimmerman. The game, which was played at a fast pace, was dominated for some reason by the faculty. They continued to build a wide point spread, eighteen at one stage, until a full court press pulled the Point Scorers within two. A foul shot put the faculty up again by three before a desperation shot by Ralph Johnson pulled the Scorers within one. The final score was 76 to 75 in favor of the faculty. High scoring honors for the winners went to Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Miller with 14 apiece. Waymon Brown and Candace Moore were high for the losers with 23 and 16 respectively. Denny Bradtmiller's team was victorious over Tom Rondot for third place honors. High scorers for the winners were Peoples with 20 and Evans with 18. Study and Coil led the losers with 22 and 16.

Red Shirt League Ends Successful Ball Season
This year's Red Shirt Basketball League, rivaled only by the Big Ten, was quite successful. Only one player attempted a shot at the wrong basket all season. With the cooperation of the Student Assembly and the team participants, enough funds were raised to pay expenses. The State School gym was the site of all the regular season ballgames, since their team was the sixth member of the league. Each Tuesday night game was filled with fouls and fun. The players competed in a manner indicative of teams vying for NCAA playoff berths. The highlight of each night was always the game between the State School faculty and their "victims." In fact, the action got so tough that Mr. Chandler, an outstanding player and adviser, called for a temporary cease-fire until the league could be reorganized--without State School. By virtue of the best overall record including two one-point wins over State School, the Point Scorers were declared DGTS champs. The team members included captain (Hap) Hairston, Candace (Can) Moore, Bob (Bibbey) Shaw, Cord (Smokin) Lewton, Waymon (Cookie Man) Brown, Jerald (Mr. Clutch) Shively, and Ralph (Gun) Johnson. Each team captain and player would like to thank Mr. Frederick [Fredrick], Mr. Chandler, and Dr. Bickley for their coordinated efforts in making the league possible. They are looking forward to an even greater program next year!

Student Assembly Officers Seek Student Involvement Continued from Page 2
Denny feels Student Assembly is a needed organization, as you see it in every walk of life. It informs the administration of how and what the students are thinking. Members are always open to suggestion from any student. Through the effort of the members who, according to Denny, "should try to help classmates, should participate in class, and should be friendly to all students. This way students can get to know Student Assembly." This is something all the officers would like to see happen.
Bicyclist Sought For Little LeMans
Each year, Saint Francis College invites area colleges to compete in their annual Little LeMans bicycle race in the month of May. For the men, a race is run around the campus grounds. The race is 25 miles in length or 50 laps of the course. Each team consists of five riders. The present race record is slightly over one hour in time and is held by a team from Ball State University. A race is also run for girls. Again, five members are necessary for a team. Tricylces [tricycles] are used as the racer, and the girls race on a 100 yard straight-away, making two passes of the track and then exchanging riders. Some students would like to see DGTS enter the race. However, more interested students are needed before bikes can be furnished. After the race, Saint Francis has a dance with queen candidates to be chosen. Girls from all colleges entered in the race are encouraged to run for queen of The Little LeMans. If anyone is interested, please contact Cord Lewton or Mike Mommer for further details. Cord Lewton - Editor
DECA Attends Texas Meeting

Grades, Reading Skills Improved By Study Center
Mr. Donald Coleman, study center director, helps students daily in the study center.
Some sixty students finished a special study skills course the first semester and according to Study Center Director, Mr. Donald Coleman, "should realize not only increased efficiency in study and reading but should note decided improvements in semester grades. While grade-point averages have not been released yet for a careful evaluation, test results show remarkalbe [remarkable] improvement in reading ability." The Study Center moved from Room 201 during the Christmas break and is now located in Room 304. Classes meet at regularly scheduled times during the week and follow a prescribed course of study. STRUCTURE OF COURSE: The course has three areas which are considered fundamental. In order of importance, first, is the guidance portion. All students have problems which are peculiar only to them. Time is spent in a counselor-student setting where the student and instructor can discuss these problems. This is considered the most important aspect of the course since it is that part which "humanizes" individual attention and guidance to which he is entitled. Secondly, the course is pointed toward introducing students to study skills necessary for success in education. While the measurable time spent in class on these skills is relatively little, the time spent practicing is considerable; and the techniques bring maximum advantages to students. These study skills give the student a definite plan of attack, and offer him those skills necessary for increased concentration and understanding of the material. Thirdly, the students are introduced to a comprehensive developmental reading program geared toward exercising the study techniques as well as reading. This portion of the course requires most of the class time due to the students' reading, but the emphasis remains on study techniques applied to reading. The comprehensive course uses the latest training instruments - tachistoscopes, projectors, films, and reading pacers. All material used in the program has been tested and is controlled to assure proper work levels. Training films have been carefully selected and graded to assure maximum group interest and individual improvement. All of the material in the program is keyed to the interest levels of the students and is graded as to difficulty. In this way the student is always working on material which is at the correct grade level for him. TESTING: The program makes use of the Iowa Silent Reading Tests, Advanced, Forms Cm and Dm. Form Cm is used at the start of the course to appraise a student's beginning reading ability. Form Dm is used at the end of the course to evaluate the improvement in reading which occured during the course. The test is designed to cover a wide range of the skills known to be indispensable to effective reading of the work-study type. The test measures three broad areas of silent reading abilities; anmely [namely], (1) rate of reading at a controlled level of comprehension, (2) comprehension of words, poetry, sentences, paragraphs, and longer articles, and (3) ability to use skills required in locating information. Each of these fields is covered in a number of different ways by means of eleven different types of materials arranged in nine subtests, requiring a total testing time of 45 minutes and resulting in nine different subtest scores, each with a special significance. In addition to the regular classes open to college students, the Study Center also offers programs for high school students and for adults returning to education. Students interested in becoming involved in a program of improved efficiency should see Mr. Coleman.
Library Committee Seeks To Improve DGTS Library
Library Committee members inspecting some of the present library books include Mr. Stroup (alternate), Mr. Remko, Mr. Coleman, Martha Kueneke, and Mrs. Stauffer, (chairman).
The Library Committee meets several times a year to discuss ways to improve the DGTS Library. This year encouraging faculty members to make more use of the library with their classes has been its primary objective. Approving large purchase requests and seeing that budget money is divided equitably by departments are other library committee duties. Serving on the committee are two students, Francee Clason and Martha Keuneke. Faculty members include Mrs. Joyce Stauffer, chairman; John Remko, Don Coleman; William Loomis; Mrs. Thelma Mitchell; and Don Stroup.
DGTS To Serve As Exam Center For CPS Test
The Division of General and Technical Studies will serve as an examination center for the 1971 annual Certified Professional Secretary examination to be administered Friday, and Saturday, May 7 and 8 according to Mrs. Elizabeth Boswell, director of the office technology program at DGTS. Indiana University will be one of 124 centers for the two-day, six-part examination, which approximately 2,300 secretaries will take throughout the United States Canada, and Puerto Rico. To date, 5,053 persons have earned the right to use the CPS designation by passing the six parts of the examination: environmental relationships, business and public policy, economics of management, financial analysis and the mathematics of business, communications and decision making, and office procedures. The examination is open to all secretaries who meet specific education requirements in combination with specified years of verified secretarial experience. Applications for the 1971 examination are now being accepted by the Institute for Certifying Secretaries, 616 East 63 St., Kansas City, Mo., 64110.
